A question for the Cramahe watchers
Bylaw Officer Jim Harris appears to be taking it on the chin, producing reports that Council doesn't either like or take much notice of. His latest, a treatise on the legality of a patio fence at the Queen's hotel, appears to have produced an interesting Council meeting, to say the least. Bob Owen, of Cramahe Now reports that Mr Harris introduced his report about the option and legality of a year round fence around the patio at a Council meeting. The owner of the fence, Councillor Tim Gilligan Jr (he of baseball bat fame) promptly declared a conflict of interest and then moved to the delegation table and debated the issue with Council. A most innovative use of the C of I regulations.
The upshot was that once again Cramahe Council put the boots to a report produced by Mr Harris, a previous one being the Farmers' Market bylaw controversy, now what? Will Marc "quick draw. I can fire you" Coombs get rid of this officious man, just as he has removed all of the people who displease him. Remember Lee Dekeyser, Ken Wood and other minions of the Township?

If Colborne didn't exist, we would have to invent it. Our very own version of Ozark Mountain society. In the USA they even have a term for it: Cracker culture.
When I first heard the phrase I checked it out and learned it refers to farming peasant type Scottish/Irish immigrants who came to America a long time ago and developed their own insular little communities that resisted change and outsiders.
Sound familiar?
